Comments
Mood/Aggression: Interesting. Gone from smiles to rants and back again, up and down re confidence and positivity. I'll be glad when Sunday comes around, to be honest.
Energy: Have more than yesterday - then again, it was the EASY day of training for this week.
Mental Focus and Clarity: So many things need doing - my mind is everywhere at once!
Stress: The stress is starting to show a little - I've yelled a lot today, and I usually don't yell.
Endurance: Fine.
Vascularity: My chest vascularity was mentioned today.
Quality of Training: HIIT was ok - could feel my legs and maybe it wasn't as hard as it should have been, but it's better than having a day OFF!
Recovery: OK.
Body Composition and Look: Slowly getting better - tyre and cellulite is still there, but there's not much I can do about that now, except make sure my stage presence and how I carry myself take any attention away from my imperfections. Midsection looking a little better - abs are not quite popping, but the definition is there. I am now in similar condition to what I was when I did my photoshoot the week before coming to the US, with the same girths re waist and hips, but with more muscle mass in my deltoids and arms and re width in my back.
Other Effects: Still very thirsty - I am drinking water like there's going to be a drought!
Other Notes: Did a practice tan-up for what I will be doing tomorrow night today, as well as decided on make-up, so that pretty much takes care of those final details . . . Today is also my first wedding anniversary - hard to believe I have been married that long (or that I got married at all)! Celebrations and whatnot are on hold for post-competition, though Definitely looking forward to a couple of lazy days . . .
